At 10 Fanny Price goes to live at Mansfield Park the estate of her aunt's husband Sir Thomas. Clever studious and a writer with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass she becomes especially close to her cousin Edmund Thomas's younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as well as a keen mind and comes to the attention of a neighbor Henry Crawford. Thomas promotes this match but to his displeasure Fanny has a mind of her own asking Henry to prove himself worthy. As Edmund courts Henry's sister and as light shines on the link between Thomas's fortunes and New World slavery Fanny must assess Henry's character and assert her heart as well as her wit.
Titles Comprise: Margaret Thatcher: The Long Walk to Finchley: Satirical drama based on Margaret Thatcher's early years in politics. Young Margaret wants nothing more than to be an MP but may be too much of a rebel for the Conservative Party of the 1950s. She did not have a 'good war' she is interested in politics and she thinks a woman's place can be in the House as well as the home. Margaret: Drama charting Margaret Thatcher's astonishing fall from power one of the most extraordinary stories of political assassination the world has seen. It took only eleven days for Thatcher to go from being the most powerful woman in the world to the tearful figure in the back of the car. A major tragedy in the true Shakespearean sense in Margaret we watch a woman lose the one thing she really cares about - power - changing from leader to victim before our eyes.
Margaret Thatcher is one of the world's most well-known public figures. But how much do we really know about her as a person? In this witty humorous and imaginative drama Britain's first female Prime Minister is portrayed as you've never imagined her. An attractive 25-year-old woman up against that most conservative and male of all institutions - the British Conservative Party. Beginning on the night she met her husband-to-be Denis the film tells of the young Margaret Thatcher's steely determination to get selected to a 'winnable' Tory seat in the Fifties and imagines what might have gone on behind the scenes during her ten-year struggle as she was rejected by a succession of five home counties Tory selection committees and finally - against considerable local opposition - selected for the seat she was to be identified with for the rest of her political career - Finchley!
